February 8, 20179 yr Evening all. Is it me or is the front brake pad retention method on the braktec caliper a complete load of sh*t? Seems to me to be a complete faff/fiddle to get the pads out. When I did flick the clip out, it appears that you have to move one pad inwards towards the centre plane of the caliper in order for it to drop out which means forcing the other pad outwards. Am I the only one that thinks this is a crap design? Much prefer through pins normal to the pads! Edited February 8, 20179 yr by italianstallion
February 9, 20179 yr Me too. Took it off 3 months back, brakes are better for some reason but it was with new pads.
February 10, 20179 yr i had a real struggle to get back in (the clip) the only thing i can see with removing clip is it a) a kind of anti rattle device as well and will the pads drop out if they are very thin (ie worn out) ?

Well, at least you will know it is time to change the pads..........
February 17, 20179 yr The clip wouldn't stop that , as you braked the pads will want to move forward. If disc is in they cannot come out
